Reon: The Celestial Flower

During the early days of rebuilt Zaun, Reon fell from the sky amidst a battle with Aurelion Sol. Where her blood hit the ground, special celestial flowers bloomed. She was unable to return to her realm while she was hurt, so Reon spent her time tending to the flowers. They were a part of her, so she nurtured them like her children, and in turn they grew powerful, imbued with mystical powers through her care.

As time passed, Zaun grew around her and she fell in love with the people there. She saw their struggles and their triumphs over adversity. When it was finally time for her to return home, she left her children to the people of Zaun so that they, too, could grow strong.

But in her absence, those who found the flowers grew greedy and selfish, harvesting them all in the name of progress for the city of Piltover above. Zaun began to wilt under its towering form and all hope seemed lost for its people.

When Reon could no longer stand idly by, she returned to Zaun and shed her blood again, carefully choosing the places that her flowers would bloom so that  only the worthiest Zaunites could find them.

Now Reon spends her time drifting between realms, drawn to the poor Zaunites who seek her magic in their darkest times. If they are brave enough to ingest her flowers, her precious children, she forms a familial bond with them and cares for them like her own offspring.

And woe betide anyone who harms The Celestial Flower’s precious children...

Well, those special flowers that Singed and Viktor fed to Rio had to come from somewhere, right? I’m running on the assumption that Shimmer is created from a combination of the flowers’ properties and Rio’s digestive tract.

Either way, when the Shimmer crisis starts, the chembarons of Zaun and the oppressive forces of Piltover are going to have one angry celestial mom on their hands!
